It may not be your wish to move to a new home, even if you aren’t happy with the home you have. It also may not be a possibility to build a new home, even if you think that is the best option. It may just be that your home needs extra attention from the Gerard Construction team to remodel your space. How do you know if it is time for a remodel? Look for any of these signs.
1. Outdated Layouts
Falling in love with a home doesn’t mean that you love every bit of the layout. Sometimes our spaces need walls to go up and sometimes they need walls to come down. Your space has to work for you, whether that is more defined division in larger rooms, reworking space to fit your needs, or opening up areas for your own lifestyle. Before you reach out to us, think about your ideal situation, for every day life and special occasions and we can make a plan together.
2. Lack of Space
Families grow and change over the years, so it makes sense that we may need our home to grow and change with us. From adding kids to the family to looking for a space for guests to needing a home office to adding income with a rental space, there are plenty of reasons why you need more space. Planning for an addition is something Gerard Construction has plenty of expertise on to guide you every step of the way.
3. Energy Inefficiency
The energy efficiency gains made over the last few decades have been enormous and it may be time to update your home for some of these cost savings measures. For structural elements, new windows, added insulation, and overall weather proofing your home can keep your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter. According to the Department of Energy, “[o]f the $2,000 the average American spends paying for energy annually, $200 to $400 could be going to waste from drafts, air leaks around openings, and outdated heating and cooling systems.” New appliances, updated HVAC, and Smart technology can help your home run more efficiently and conveniently.
4. Love Your Location
For some, it isn’t even about the home itself, but it is the location. Proximity to work, proximity to loved ones, amenities, overall space, there are numerous reasons you may want to stay with your particular address. We understand that the location of your home is just as important as the layout of your home and we can make this dream spot even better.
5. List is Adding Up
If you keep adding to your list of things you might want to change for your home, it may be time to renovate. While one or two frustrations can be lived with, if you are noticing your wish list of changes growing and growing, you should renovate to make your home everything you need it to be. This is especially the case if your wish list changes are major like the signs listed above. Take time to move through your home, make a list, and decide what Gerard Construction can help you with.
